4 Principles of Economics Unit 1: Fundamental Economics-Basic Concepts Elaborated Unit Focus: The focus of this unit is on the study of choices which people and societies make as they use scare resources to meet their wants. The unit examines the nature of economic wants and their relationship to productive resources. An understanding that these resources are scarce, and have alternative uses, leads to the fact that people must engage in decision-making. GPS Standards SSEF1 The student will explain why limited productive resources and unlimited wants result in scarcity, opportunity costs, and trade offs for individuals, businesses and governments. a. Define scarcity as a basic condition which exists when unlimited wants exceed limited productive resources. b. Define and give examples of productive resources (factors of production): as land (natural), labor (human), ca entrepreneurship. c. List a variety of strategies for allocating scarce resources. d. Define opportunity cost as the next best alternative given up when individuals, businesses and governments confront scarcity by making choices. SSEF2 The student will give examples of how rational decision-making entails comparing the marginal benefits and the marginal costs of an action. a. Illustrate by means of a production possibilities curve the trade offs between two options. b. Explain that rational decisions occur when the marginal benefits of an action equal or exceed the marginal costs. SSEF3 The student will explain how specialization and voluntary exchange between buyers and sellers increase the satisfaction of both parties. a. Give examples of how individuals and businesses specialize. b. Explain that both parties gain as a result of voluntary, non-fraudulent exchange. 4
5 Unit 1 Enduring Understandings and Unit Essential Questions Limited resources and unlimited wants result in people (individuals, businesses and government) making choices. As a result, society must choose some things and give up others. Why do people have to make decisions? (EF1) Rational decision-making in economics is the result of analyzing marginal costs and marginal benefits of any action. Why should people weigh the advantages and disadvantages of different alternatives when making choices? (EF2) Specialization and voluntary, non-fraudulent, exchange results in increased satisfaction for both buyers and sellers. Why do people not create all their own goods and services? (EF3) 5
6 Principles of Economics Unit 2: Fundamental Economics-Economic Systems Elaborated Unit Focus: The focus of this unit is on how all societies must organize themselves to answer the three basic economic questions of what to produce, how to produce and for whom to produce. A society s institutional framework largely governs how such decisions are made. GPS Standards: SSEF4 The student will compare and contrast different economic systems, and explain how they answer the three basic economic questions of what to produce, how to produce and for whom to produce. a. Compare command, market, and mixed economic systems with regard to private ownership, profit motive, consumer sovereignty, competition, government regulation. b. Evaluate how well each type of system answers the three economic questions and meets the broad social and economic goals of freedom, security, equity, growth, efficiency and stability. SSEF5 The student will describe the roles of government in a market economy. a. Explain why government provides public goods and services, redistributes income, protects property rights and resolves market failures. b.

8 Principles of Economics Unit 3: Microeconomics Elaborated Unit Focus: The focus of this unit is on individual decision-making, the decision of firms and those of different industry sectors. Microeconomics provides useful tools for understanding the behavior of consumers and producers in the marketplace, along with the interrelationships between them. Young people as a group play an important part in the economy in terms of their total spending, so it is helpful for them to analyze their consumer behavior and the factors which affect their behavior. GPS Standards: SSEMI1The student will describe how households, businesses, and governments are interdependent and interact through flows of goods, services and money. a. Illustrate by means of a circular flow diagram, the Product market, the Resource (factor) Market; the real flow goods and services between and among businesses, households and government, and the flow of money. b.

Define the Law of Supply and the Law of Demand. b. Describe the role of buyers and sellers in determining market clearing price. c. Illustrate on a graph how supply and demand determine equilibrium price and quantity. d. Explain how prices serve as incentives in a market economy. SSEMI3 The student will explain how markets, prices and competition influence economic behavior. a. Identify and illustrate on a graph, factors that cause changes in market supply and demand. b. Explain and illustrate on a graph how price floors create surpluses and price ceilings create shortages. c. Define price elasticity of demand and supply. SSEMI4 The student will explain the organization and role of business, and analyze the four types of market structures in the U.S. economy. a.

Identify the basic characteristics of monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition and pure competition.
9 Unit 3 Enduring Understandings and Unit Essential Questions The circular flow model describes the interdependence among and between households, business and government. How are households, business and government interrelated through markets and the flow of money? (EMI1) Prices are determined by interaction of supply and demand. How are prices established in a perfectly competitive market.? (EMI2) Markets change in response to multiple factors. What forces lead to changes in supply and demand? (EMI3) In the United States economy, different types of businesses compete on the basis of price, product quality, customer service, product design, and advertising. What factors affect the level of competition in various U.S. industries? (EMI4)
10 Principles of Economics Unit 4: Macroeconomics-Economic Measurements Elaborated Unit Focus: The focus of this unit is on the economy as a whole, i.e., the combined effects of individual actions, inflation, deflation, unemployment, the fiscal policies of government and the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve System.
